I'm thinking its false, but there might be those who know otherwise. As far as I know, there aren't any 1 GB 8800 GT models floating around for sale. By the price, it looks like a mis labeled 512 MB.

I don't need to use Google. I only buy nVidia cards from eVGA, so checking any other site's listings is pointless. A graphics card withouta program for upgrading is useless, especially when a new card comes out almost every 4 months.

so then making this thread was useless asking if the video card was real or a misprint.

just trying to help, no need to be a jerk.

That's nice, but you can only use the step-up program once. You can't step-up from a stepped-up card. Other companies like BFG and XFX are perfectly fine and also offer lifetime warranties (or better). The step-up program is only good if you're buying a mid-range card due to lack of budget, and know you'll have the money within 90 days, or if you know there's a good card coming out in three months that will be SIGNIFICANTLY better than your current card.
